deficit. people are working harder for less money than they were making 10 years ago, 2/3 of our people -- a $1,600 drop in average income in just the last two years. the problem i have with the perot prescription is that almost all economists who've looked at it say that if you cut the deficit this much this quick it will increase unemployment, it will slow down the economy. that's why i think we shouldn't do it that quickly. we have a disciplined reduction in the deficit of 50 % over the next four years, but first get incentives to invest in this economy, put the american people back to work. we've got to invest and grow. 9 nobel prize-winning economists and 500 others, including numerous republican and democratic business executives, have endorsed this approach because it offers the best hope to put america back to work and get our incomes rising instead of falling. >> president bush, one minute, sir. >> your question was on fairness. i just disagree with mr. perot. i don't believe it is fa

we take the deficit seriously. we need to bring the deficit down so that companies can grow. >> again, i think that the whole politics and envy is a sad chapter in politics and i would only suggest that i would bring to the table. the president obama and ann mclane kuster idea -- the individuals with incomes of more than $200,000 per year, bringing to the table. i'll consider it. show me where he will cut that? >> okay, thank you so much for that. we will have 30 seconds for this round. we begin with you. >> do you think any changes are needed to benefit new hampshire's business community? >> what i have heard about mostly from the business community in terms of integration are the high-end technical employees that they would like to be able to talk about going to new hampshire. as well as, on the art or cultural sector, another is an issue about bringing in part-time work on the road in hopkinton, and i know we need to bring people in. but in general, i have not heard any immigration issues in new hampshire. i thi

why the deficit's been above $1 trillion now four years running, and maybe if the moderators get into it, what's happening in the middle east, and what they think they can do about it. i think that governor romney's plan's going to be to try to stick to the substance because i think the country knows we need a change. >> i'm only half joking about kicking out of the room. metaphorically, a lot of republicans want to see mitt romney do just that to the president. they want to see him verbally beat him up and make the points that you've made crystal clear and win the argument. but there's another argument that says that one of mitt romney's problems is he's not likeable enough and he may need to turn on the kind of easy ronald reagan charm which he deployed so successfully in debate. it's a fine line, isn't it, between being hard and aggressive and making a point, but also coming over as likeable. >> right. and piers, really, the way to deal with that, and i think this is true for any debate but especially one where the stakes are so high for the country, is to stick to what you want to

and most americans don't believe you have to touch medicare to take care of the deficit or the debt. >> listen, it's a numbers issue right? i'm a numbers guy. used to be 40 years ago that you had two people in america working to pay for every one retiree. now it's basically, you know, one worker paying for 10 to 20 different retirees because we've got this horrific demographic shift, 7500 people turning 60 every day. you're right. the numbers are unsustainable. what was interesting about your chart was this. i'll tell you what. the president is glad the election is only 39 days away. because yesterday kind of quietly, i don't want to get wonky, we had dismal economic data. we referenced it at the top. durable goods was terrible. boeing sold only one aircraft in august. gdp was revised down. 25% of people, i can't remember the source of the poll, basically said they'll slow down spending because of the fiscal cliff issue. things are slowing down because people, smart viewers of "morning joe" and cnbc know that we're going to get the biggest tax hike in history if congress doesn't do s
